steups@college eh i saw tiger play college ball and there he looked very good and when he played for trini in digicel cup he couldna trap ah ball either.if allyuh never see ha pfl game doh talk.
seon powers was one of the better defenders in the digicel cup for tirni and he is very young. yes he has to work on hsi technical ability is obvious..be he will run himself into the groudn for the team... much more than alot of other players.
he is very very young. instead of fighting down de youth so much... i say encourage hiim to work on his defincies and he could be potentially ah very good player.
by exposing him to this level now...he know what time it is and its up to him to make that concious decsion to raise de level of his game.
Some peeps lack foresight. Not a criticism of dem....jes a opinion. Is like some peeps expeck a man to walk on de field and perform miracles.
De same people who callin Power a shithong is de same one's ravin bout Toussaint because he rip 3 men in a play.
not miracles Palos. But it is not too much to ask a defender at this level to be able to:
pass the ball 10 yards on the ground to your teammate when you are under no pressure?
check your approach to a winger and determine the angle, especially when you are in the first third of the field (right in front of your goal)
make a simple 40 yard pass in the air into the channel down the line without it going out of bounds?
Just because a player is young doesn't mean that grooming him will make him a quality or even serviceable player at the international level. Somebody yesterday mentioned Cyd Grey when he just broke onto the team. Good example. He made mistakes, but they were under pressure and his defensive strength made up for it. Power made key errors defending, mad problems passing the ball under little or no pressure, and went forward only to lose the ball shortly thereafter.
Look at what Wim did: first game Power started at left back. He is right-footed and he did a horrendous job. His excuse was probably that he can't play left back. The second game he played right back. Played shit same way. He even cost us a goal. The third game he played right back once agin, but his performance again left much to be desired. What other choices did Wim have? How many defenders did we take? Especially with Noreiga out, Wim was forced to keep Power in the line up.
Palos, what did you see that would make you opt to keep this player around? And please don't say fight and effort -- this is not the Eddiie Hart league.
